There are small exhibitions on Tynwald and Manx culture at our cultural centre:
Fairfield House, Main Road, St. John's IM4 3NA
We are located just opposite Tynwald Hill, and there is ample parking in nearby public car parks at the Arboretum, and on Station Road.
A PDF of our beautiful hand-drawn map of St. John's is available to download here.
In the centre, you can find out about 'thing sites' like Tynwald around the world, look at old photos of St John's, find out about calendar customs, see how Tynwald works, and check out our Lego model of Tynwald Day. Younger visitors can choose from colouring-in, dressing up and playing with some Lego to add to the model.
There's much more about Manx culture in our language and music room, which features an amazing mural by Manx artist, Adam Berry. Take some time to explore our short films or sit and read some of our books.
Opening times:
Monday to Friday 10am - 4pm (except Thursday - open from 11am)
Spring to Autumn.
Please note that, although the Culture Vannin office remains open throughout the year, the exhibition currently closed until Easter 2025. Special visits may be arranged before then - please feel free to contact us in advance.
Some visitors might like to know that air purifiers are in operation within the exhibition space.
